20. 1-Spasmodic colic
Definition :
It is a severe attacks of abdominal pain
caused by increase peristaltic movement
of the intestine, characterized by:
• Intermittent fits of colic,
• Rapid course
• Short duration.
• Favorable prognosis.
25. Etiology
(1) Feeding on large quantities of highly
fermentable green feed .
(2) Ingestion of spoiled or moldy food or
grains, which has tendency to swell.
(3) Sudden change in the ration.
(4) Atony of the bowel.
(5) Obstruction of the bowel by sands.
27. 3-Obstructive colic
(Impaction of the intestine)
• It occurs when the large intestine
remains impacted with undigested food
material causing partial obstruction,
colic, depression & anorexia.
28. Etiology
•
(1) Overfeeding of grains or coarse
food rich in cellulose and bran for long
period.
•
(2) Ingesting food materials, which
contain large amounts of mud or sand.
•
(3) Sluggish intestinal peristalsis
especially in old debilitated & or
draught horses.
•
(4) Greedy feeding & defective teeth.
29. • (5) Obstruction of the intestine or
natural opening by large foreign bodies
or parasite.
• (6) Inadequate water intake or green
food.
• (7) Enterolith, fiber balls, hairball.
• (8) Encephalitic (equine rectal
paralysis).
32. Gastric Dilatation
Primary causes:
▪ Gastric impaction,
▪ food engorgement,
▪ excessive water intake after exercise,
Gasterophilus infestation
▪
33. Secondary causes:
• small or large intestinal obstruction.
• Dilation resulting from small intestinal
obstruction is the most common cause.
Fluid from the obstructed small intestine
accumulates in the stomach, causing
nasogastric reflux.

•The combination of these two factors
may lead to colic or laminitis.

40. Degree of Pain
According to clinical signs
Mild
• Pawing
• Flank watching
• Stretching out
• Lying Down
Moderate
• Restlenes
• Pawing
• Kicking
the abdomen
• Rolling
Sever
• Extreme restlene
• Drooping to
the ground
• Violent rolling
• Sweeting
46. Clinical signs
of Gastric dilation produces:
• Acute, severe colic.
• Tachycardia.
• Pale mucous membranes.
• Retching.
• Ingesta at the nares in severe cases .
• Gastric reflux.
47.
48. Sand Impactions
of the Large Colon
• Sand may be found
in the feces,
• Auscultation of the ventral abdomen
may reveal sounds of sand moving
within the large colon.
• Sand also may be detected on
abdominal radiography.
58. 1-Case history
• A-How sever has the pain been?
• B-When did the horse last defecate?
And what was the character of the
feces?
• C-Has the horse shown specific
behavior such as playing with water?
59. 1-Case history
• D-Could the horse have graine access
highly fermentable food?
• What is the horse’s past medical
history?
60. 2- Examination of pulse:
• The heart rate and the character of
pulse are important in determining the
degree of severity of colic.
• Rates greeter than 80 bpm should be
considered the result of sever lesion or
disease

62. A-Skin-pinch test
• Pinch the skin near the point of the
shoulder.
• Skin snaps quickly back into place =
sufficient hydration.
• Skin stays tented for 2-4 seconds =
moderate dehydration.
• Skin remains lifted from the flesh for 4-
6 seconds = severe dehydration.
63. B-Capillary Refile Time(CRT)
• Pressing a finger or thumb on the upper
gum, above an incisor, for a second or
two.
• Color returns to the gum in one to two
seconds: horse is amply hydrated.
• Gums remain blanched for longer than
two seconds: horse is likely dehydrated.
64. Degree dehydration
1- Mild
• Mild:
• 5-7% body weight in water loss.
Symptoms:
• Depression.
• Dry mucous membranes.
• Slow capillary refill time (>2 seconds).
66. 3-Severe Dehydration
• Greater than 10% water loss.
• Symptoms:
• Cold limbs
• lethargy.
• persistent skin “tenting.”
• Horses may be near death with
multiple organ failure.
68. • In simple dehydration the oral
mm is slight bluish.
• in mild dehydration it becomes
brick red or cyanosed.
69. • In Sever Dehydration:
• it becomes pale blue-grey color.
• Severe dehydration normally occurs when
the damaged gut is no longer capable of
absorbing fluid into the body.
70. 4- Auscultaion of abdomen
• Site of stesoscope:
• Place your stethoscope head behind
the last rib and at the mid-height of the
abdomen.
• Listen to the upper left quadrant.
• Drop the stethoscope down about 8
inches and listen to the lower left
quadrant.
71. Right side
• Listen to the upper right quadrant
where gas is often heard since this
roughly corresponds to the base of the
cecum.
• Move down to the lower right quadrant
72. 4- Auscultaion of abdomen
• Normal Sounds:
• Intestinal or gut sounds are caused by
action of the equine intestines that
contain gas, water and feed.
• The normal digestive sounds in horses
range from deep gurgling to “tinkling”
sounds .
73. Motilty may be one the following
• 0 - Silent, no motility heard during 30
seconds.
• 1 - Less than normal motility.
• 2 - Normal motility.
• 3 - Hypermotile, more gut sounds than
usual.
• الرمل حركة صوت نسمع القولون فى رمال وجود حالة فى
ورقة على
74. Absence of sound
• Complete lack of any sounds:
• Is an indication of impaction or
serious condition such as:
• Strangulation.
• Twisting.
• Telescoping.
